from Floresville, Wilson county, at the
last term of court for horse stealing, and
confined in the Bexar county Jail for
safe-keeping, until he can be taken to
the penitentiary to serve his sentence of
six years, made an attempt q few days
ago. to procure some dynamite with
which to blow up the Jail and make his
escape. He wrote letter to his wife
telling her to buy some dynamite
cartridges from hardware store and
bring them to him. He thought with
them he could blow out the back end of
the Jail on Saturday, when the prisoners
were all in the run around" and not only
effect his escape. but also others. He sent
the letter out ofhis cell, wrapped up in
pair of dirty socks which he wanted
Sheriff Lewis to send to his wife to be
washed, but as he was so particular
about 1t, the sheriff examined the socks
and found the letter. His wife never re-
ceived it, although Rose no doubt thinks
she did and he is now waiting quietly to

Passengers Arrive in Safety.

LONDON, August 1.-THE passengers
and crew Of the City Of Montreal were
taken off the York City by the tug,
Mount Etna, and landed at Queenstown.
All were accounted for except thirteen
persons in the missing boat. 1t Is learn
ed that shortly after the passengers had
gone to bed on the night OF the 10th, the
ship being in latitude 43, north, at the
time, they were aroused by an alarm
of fire. A scent Of CONSERVATION ensued
and the passengers were greatly terri
fled when they found out the true state
Of affairs. The smoke caused by fire
was suffocating. Passengers dressed
and got on deck as quickly as possible,
and with but little appearance Of q
panic. The fire originated In the after
main hold. Nine streams Of wa
ter were soon working on
the flames and the course of the vessel
was Snapped toward Newfoundland, 400
miles distant. The flames spread with
great rapidity and soon had burst out
with terrific force through the middle
and after matches, the heat being in
tense. 1t became evident that il was
impossible to save the ship, and q mo-
mentary panic ensued.

WATTERsoN and the star eyed god
dess Of reform have got . big contract
on hand keeping the solid south In line
for the campaign OF 1888.
THERE Is considerable cursing. not
loud but deep, on the part Of those hav-
ing city contracts because the city en-
gineer holds them down to the strict
letter OF their contracts. For this very
purpose was the office OF city engineer
instituted. 1t is about time that all who
seek city contracts should understand
that the work exaoted OF them must be
as perfectly performed "a though that
work was by the day under the super
vision OF the city overseer. When that
time comes we will hear less OF the
beauties Of the contract system; city i'm
prOvements will be done by the city
hiring the labor and paying a decent
price for the same. II contractors will
insist on taking work below living
prices let them take the consequences.
When this city ceases to let out her i'm
prOvements by contract she will begin
to understand the end OF her creation.
